Why were the Fentanyl patches recalled twice than put on the market?
Duragesic patches were recalled because there were negligible tears in the patches, thus releasing more fentanyl than should have been released per hour. These patches were taken off the market, the pharmaceutical companies (including the ones that made generic patches) rectified the problem and then the patches were on the market again.

What is a substitute for Fentanyl patch?
You can transition from patches to any other opiate. However, the primary reason that patients are normally prescribed Duragesic is that their pain is constant, chronic, and high enough that the amount of acute pain meds that would have to be taken in its place isn't going to work as effectively. Fentanyl patches are currently the only opiate therapy that lasts for days, not hours. Even OxyContin only lasts between 8-12 hours, and the dose dropoff is very steep compared to Fentanyl. Duragesic use should never be considered lightly, as it's a life altering decision. Being at the mercy of Federal regulations concerning Schedule 2 opiates is not fun, but in all decisions quality of life must be the paramount factor. If it helps you lead some semblance of a normal life, then it's worth it.

Where to apply duragesic patch?
It MUST BE applied ABOVE THE WAISTLINE. From there, it should be in a relatively hairless area, and one that does not see a lot of skin stretching/movement. Personally, I use both of my biceps; they're flat, smooth, have little hair, are easily accessible for swapping new patches, easy to clean, etc. Others who have needs requiring several patches at once often use their backs; the chest isn't a great area due to the amount hair.
